We’re lucky Hawthorn are shizenhouzen. Need Jeffy to slot a couple, he’s been looking almost there.

    Our effort vs reward has to be the worst in the league. Too many unskilled footballers lacking smarts.

    ...and then we run out of juice.

     

    It's not the skills per se, they have the skills. It's the between-the-ears-skills, the lack of confidence, the second guessing, the don't-[censored]-this-upping, the pressure (perceived or otherwise) ... every player is only too aware of what's not working, and the pressure and expectation that that brings is almost impossible to ignore.

    The big mindf*ck.

    Trac’s set shots are laughably bad for an afl footballer. He’s been good otherwise and has an impact whenever he is near the ball. Time to start getting him up into the midfield instead and play to his strength.

    Our set shots in general have been poor all year. We don’t seem to have anyone who can reliably kick straight. TMac did last year, but he doesn’t touch the ball anymore...

    Garlett has been dangerous. He’s generated more opportunities today than all our other forwards combined have all season!

    I don’t want to labor it but Trac “looking dangerous” and actually doing something of value over an entire game or season are two completely different things.

    He doesn’t work hard enough/isn’t fit enough/not good enough to play midfield or he would be by this time in his career.

    If you're posting from the ground then it's the 4G networks fault. 

    You sure it’s not that “server issue” you mentioned during the week?

    I don’t like to bag players too much but I’m really not sure what ANB contributes. Hope he has a big second half but he is so fumbly. Just runs around doing nothing 

    Terribly out of form like so many.  Cupboard bare at Casey

    when we knock it out in a tackle its holding the man. When they knock it out on us its dropping the ball

    Yep from watching on TV they can dispose of it how they want whilst being tackled, they also throw it a hell of a lot. 


    Yahoo!  Forward line had outnumbers and win ground ball ....can't recall that in a while

    Jeffy's too scared to have a shot off his own boot now after that earlier effort........not a bad thing.


    2nd time...first Joe the Goose in like what seems like forever!  T-mac first mark in a while also

    T Mac’s skills are just...not good.

    is he playing with injections to a foot ?

     

    I just realised I paused the game earlier and was 3 minutes behind. I was wondering why comments weren’t making much sense.

    Jefffyyyyy!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
